Now With More Gray, More Scaffolding, and More Noise Than Ever Before!

I’ve gotten a good chunk of the lower body (in gray) knitted on my Camp Loopy Ravello! I’ve actually finished the first skein of gray and am knitting on the second one now. I’d like to get the body knitted to the top of the lower ribbing this week. Of course, it would be great if I can get it finished this week. The body that is, there’s no way I’ll get the whole sweater finished this week.

Yesterday the workers showed up to begin the demolition of our brick. Basically, they take hammers and bash at the side of the house, breaking up the brick and getting it off, down to the sheathing. It’s kind of loud. Logan settled down pretty quickly, but he wasn’t sure if he should pace or lie down. I finally got him to lie down but he didn’t relax until they were gone for the day. Max was taking a nap under the sofa when they showed up and he stayed there until they left for lunch. Then, he came to me and had some questions. They worked until about 7:30 last night and they got all the brick off the back of the house and half of one side. They also cleaned up really well before leaving, which is always appreciated. If they continue at this pace, the noisy parts should be done pretty quickly. At least that’s what I’m telling myself!
